The GOP is simply reprehensible. I don't understand how any citizen can vote for any GOP candidate. The entire party is claiming the Trump fraud trial was a political hit job. The "law and order" party wants neither. (1/6)
"The (US) state department falsified a report earlier this month to absolve Israel of responsibility for blocking humanitarian aid flows into Gaza, overruling the advice of its own experts, according to a former senior US official who resigned this week"
The Israeli Knesset’s preliminary bill to designate UNRWA as a terrorist organisation is an outrageous attack on humanitarian assistance, and an act of collective punishment against the Palestinian people.
Israel’s allies, which are all members of the United Nations, must stand against this move to criminalise humanitarian assistance and ensure that #UNRWA can continue its essential work.

Two more #US officials resign over #Biden administration’s #genocide in #Gaza, accusing the administration of lying about Israel’s obstruction of aid to Palestinians
Thank you everyone using the #genocidejoe hashtag for recognizing that the bomb Israel dropped in #Rafah was sold to Israel in September, 2008, by the Bush administration.
"A CNN report said American GBU-39 bombs were used in deadly attack on designated safe zone for Palestinians"
"After geolocating the footage, explosive weapons experts confirmed that remnants of the American-manufactured GBU-39 diameter bomb (SDB) were present"
US says Israel hasn't breached Biden's 'red line' despite Rafah massacre
The article reports a long list of lies John Kirby felt obliged to spew at the press:
"Israel has not violated President Joe Biden's "red line""
"Tel Aviv will not launch a full-scale ground invasion into [Rafah]"
"the US was monitoring the results of Tel Aviv's investigation into the what Israeli government said was a "precision strike"."
US-made CBU-39 munitions used in deadly strike on Rafah tent camp, CNN analysis shows noting that its use in a densely populated area is highly risky.
Munitions made in the United States were used in the deadly Israeli strike on a displacement camp in Rafah on Sunday, a CNN analysis of video from the scene and a review by explosive weapons experts has found.
The GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250-pound (110 kg) precision-guided glide bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of more accurate bombs. Most US Air Force aircraft will be able to carry (using the BRU-61/A rack) a pack of four SDBs in place of a single 2,000-pound (910 kg) bomb. It first entered service in 2006. The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) was later developed to enable the SDB to be launched from a variety of ground launchers and configurations.
Ryan Cooper at the American Prospect sums things up bluntly with but fairly:
“Biden makes some timid requests for Israeli forces to cool it a little bit; Netanyahu spits in his face, blows up another hospital, and then demands more free weapons.”

Whenever I see young #protesters calling #Biden "#GenocideJoe" and threatening to not vote for him, and risking letting #TheOrangeMenace win a second term, and the #DNC Convention to be held in #Chicago, I can't help but see history repeating itself, where young anti-war protesters disrupted the '68 Convention in Chicago to cost #Democrats the election (arguably) and put "#TrickyDick" back in office (after being Ike's #VP for 8 years.) 😞
"US 'world's only superpower', Biden says amid declining popularity"
On #GenocideJoe 's speech at West Point's graduation ceremony. He's on a parallel universe: "world’s only superpower", "leading democracy," "protecting freedom and openness" really?
"Despite its well-documented Police crackdown on pro-Palestine protests at US universities, US President Joe Biden says that the US is the "leading democracy" in the world"
US backed MASSACRE: ‘Nothing justifies what we have witnessed here’: the doctors returning home from #Gaza
"It is apocalyptic"
British doctors Mohammed Tahir and Omar El-Taji thought they were mentally prepared to help treat people in Rafah. But what they and other foreign volunteers faced was beyond anything they could imagine.
"It will be my great honor to pardon the peaceful January 6 protesters, or as I often call them, the hostages. There has never been a group of people treated so harshly or unfairly in our country's history."
